To figure out this question, I first divided 24 into 3, which gives me an answer of 8. then I divided 52 into 7 , which also is 8 . because the two numbers are the same, I know the ratios are equivalent.
The reason is, since both sides of the width equal out to 180 feet, (there are 2 sides of 90 feet) both sides of 160 feet is 320 feet, and all there is left is simple addition: 320 feet + 180 feet = 500 feet. Thank you and I hope this helps.
